My brother couldn't be a corrupted magical girl.

Chapter 23 The Abyss Cutter

A gentle evening breeze caressed my face, and the night view was picturesque.

The only one who didn't quite make it into the picture was a young girl enjoying her meal.

Even the mobile phone, a modern person's second life,

They were pushed aside by all sorts of skewers, their eyes filled with tears as they watched their owner wolfing down his food.

She ignored any messages that came through the screen.

After Bai Yuze sat down, he ate very little. He simply tasted a few bites of each plate of skewers and quietly watched his sister eat.

Thanks to his meticulous training, the Abyss Beasts now employ every possible means to capture magical girls.

"Brother, is that all you're going to eat?"

Bai Youqing's attention wasn't entirely on the skewers; she still cared about her brother.

"Whether I eat a lot or a little depends on who I'm comparing myself to. If I'm comparing myself to you, a big eater, I'm ashamed of myself."

Bai Yuze leisurely enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the lake.

Until his gaze inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"snort!"

Bai Youqing snorted coldly, ignoring her brother's mockery, and focused her attention back on the food.

"Your phone just vibrated, aren't you going to check it?"

"What else could it be? It's probably Gu Xiaorou reminding me not to be late for my tutoring class tomorrow."

"Oh, is that so!"

Bai Yuze remained silent, watching his younger sister eat with relish, and he wasn't in a hurry.

After learning that her younger sister had become a magical girl, she was worried about how to teach her.

When she was an ordinary human, no witches or abyssal creatures were bothered to target her, but the moment she became a magical girl...

The malice from abyssal creatures and witches swarms in, and all sorts of sneak attacks and hidden arrows are hard to defend against. You must be extremely cautious when you're out there.

And now, the witch has delivered the textbooks to our doorstep.

Half an hour later, Bai Youqing patted her round little belly, staring at the last grilled fish ball skewer in her hand, her expression conflicted.

"I'm full, that's enough. Don't overeat." Bai Yuze found it amusing; he was already full just watching the other person eat.

Bai Youqing glanced at the bare plates on the table, then looked at the last fish ball. Reluctantly, she opened her small mouth and took a big bite. Looking at the few remaining fish balls, she couldn't bear to throw them away and stuffed them into Bai Yuzhe's mouth.

"Cough cough..."

Bai Yuzhe almost choked from the sudden shove.

He glanced at his sister with extreme disdain, chewed, and swallowed it directly.

"Are you full?"

"Hiccup~ Mmm, I'm so full." Bai Youqing lay comfortably in the chair.

"Then let's go home?" Bai Yuze asked, his gaze slowly shifting from the yellow balloon on the tree.

"Brother, you really don't know anything about picking up girls!" Bai Youqing said with a look of disdain, "At this point, you should go buy a drink! Eating only skewers will definitely be very salty and spicy."

"What would you like to drink?"

"Strawberry-flavored Nutritional Express".

Bai Yuze rolled his eyes at his sister, then went to the small supermarket next door and bought two bottles of nutritional drinks.

But in such a short time,

When he came out, a major change had already occurred outside, and a bunch of indescribable, terrifying monsters seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

The crowd inside the barbecue stall was completely surrounded.

The leader of the abyssal monsters is named the [Abyssal Cutter].

It has the shape of a humanoid creature, with sickle-like arms on its back standing high like rows of sharp swords, which makes people shudder.

The sharp blade gleamed coldly in the night lights, as if it were ready to tear apart anything that stood in its way.

It has strange, dark organs on its body that emit a faint, pale red glow.

Around it, a group of terrifying abyssal monsters, some of which had humanoid appearances, gathered.

They were enormous, with three heads and dozens of tentacles covered in bright red eyes growing from their backs. Their bodies were a twisted, writhing mass of flesh, with several large mouths filled with sharp teeth opening and closing, making them look extremely grotesque.

The young couples at the barbecue stall had never seen such an exciting scene before, and they all squeezed into the center of the crowd, screaming incessantly.

Upon seeing the appearance of the calamity beast,

Two young and beautiful girls in the crowd were not afraid at all; in fact, they seemed eager to try.

They shielded the crowd behind them and said with great confidence, "With us here, you don't need to be afraid."

The abyssal monsters we encountered this time didn't seem to be very powerful. Apart from the Abyssal Cutter, which posed a bit of a threat, the other monsters were quite easy to deal with.

The two girls spoke softly, but with unparalleled confidence.

Magical girls have always been a symbol of protecting cities from monstrous creatures.

In people's minds, the appearance of magical girls signifies the arrival of victory.

The appearance of two girls.

The bustling crowd immediately calmed down. With a magical girl here, what were they afraid of? They were no longer nervous; instead, they started taking out their phones to record videos and cheer for the magical girl.

"Go for it, Magical Girl!!"

"My God, I never thought I would be able to see a magical girl up close like this one day."

"Go, sister! Defeat this hideous monster!"

Bai Yuzhe watched from a distance, and to his surprise, Bai Youqing was not among the two magical girls.

Is she afraid of revealing her identity in front of her brother?

Or have they already discovered that they can't transform here?

When did my younger sister become so mature...?

When Bai Youqing saw the Abyss Cutter suddenly appear before her, her first thought was to do what the two magical girl seniors before her had done: rush out and block the crowd.

But halfway there, she silently turned back.

My heart is filled with regret and pain.

This feeling is like walking along and suddenly discovering a pond that no one has ever explored, with ripples appearing from time to time, but she doesn't feel the pain of a fishing rod.

In her dreams, she imagined countless times becoming a magical girl, standing in front of the crowd, defeating all sorts of abyssal monsters, and receiving the grateful, admiring, and praiseful gazes of the people.

After letting out a long sigh, she slowly remembered.

My brother went to buy her a drink and hasn't come back yet. I hope something has happened to him.

Sigh... My brother is such a worry.

At the very front of the crowd,

The place was bustling with noise and incredibly lively.

The two magical girls couldn't help but feel a little smug. They were magical girls from the neighboring district of Yeqiu City and had simply come here for a vacation to relax.

I never expected to encounter this situation as soon as I arrived. This is a bonus that came out of nowhere.

It's hard not to be excited.

Only when they tried to draw upon the power of the magic core did their expressions turn to fear, and the magic within the magic core remained completely still.

The two looked at each other, and both saw shock and fear in each other's eyes.

"Xiaoqin, can't you transform anymore?"

"Forget about transforming, I can't even contact headquarters anymore."

When the magical girl named Kotomi realized that she and the others could not transform, she secretly turned on her phone to call the vice-captain for help, but found that the phone had lost signal.

The Abyss Cutter's eerie green gaze was fixed on the two magical girls, filled with hatred.

If it weren't for these magical girls interfering, they would have already conquered Earth and had an endless supply of food.

Instead of hiding in a dark corner eating mice, he didn't dislike that kind of life, but his thoughts were inexplicably confused.

It didn't move; it was waiting for a command from the person beside it.

The magical girls didn't move because they couldn't transform at all.

For a moment, the two sides were deadlocked.

However, it was clear that some humans would soon give up.

Perhaps the beast's size was too frightening, because a woman dressed in expensive clothes could no longer bear it and screamed at the two girls.

"Why aren't you transforming yet? The calamity beasts are almost here!"

"You don't need to wait for them to transform anymore; they've already lost the ability to transform."

At that moment, a black-robed figure wearing a faceless white mask emerged from behind the Abyss Cutter's ferocious appearance and spoke with schadenfreude.

"......"

The two magical girls remained silent, seemingly indirectly corroborating the black-robed man's words.

The woman's scream, the appearance of the man in black robes, the magical girl's silence.

As if a switch had been flipped to induce panic, the previously calm and composed positive emotions in the crowd vanished, and commotion began to break out.

"I shouldn't have believed in those little brat magical girls."

"If we had known you magical girls were so useless, we would have run away long ago instead of standing here obediently waiting to die."

"Exactly! They take our taxpayers' money, but when we really need them, they're completely useless!!"

The woman in black seemed to have anticipated the commotion. Her hoarse female voice, though not loud, filled everyone's ears, like a key to unlocking the deepest darkness in their hearts.

"Hehe~ I can give you a choice to live now. As long as you hand over these two magical girls, I can let you go! Don't worry, before magical girls transform, they are no different from ordinary humans."

Of course, you can fight back stubbornly, but the monstrous beasts behind me will devour you all.

Finally, don't even think about calling the police. There are signal jammers here. If you don't believe me, you can check if your phones still have a signal.

Now, the choice is yours!

People pulled out their phones and found that, just as the man in the black robe had said, the area had long lost signal.

What's even more alarming is that the barbecue stall is located in an extremely remote area.

No one will notice anything amiss for a while.

"Why don't we hand them over!" a young man in a suit said in terror. He still had a lot of wealth to inherit, how could he possibly want to die here?

"Snapped!"

A beautiful young woman with light makeup slapped the man hard across the face.

"Xiang Yujia, I really misjudged you."

"Why can't we sacrifice two people to save a bunch of us? At worst, I'll give each of their families a million yuan in compensation after we get out, so that we won't be indebted to them for saving our lives."

These sounds came from every corner of the crowd, like sharp thorns.

It pierced the heart of the girl who had just stood in front of them, drawing blood.

The two girls, who looked to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, had never experienced such verbal abuse and insults before.

A surge of resentment welled up inside her. Why, why did the humans she had sworn to protect speak to them like that?

"No, don't do that!"

Their eyes were red-rimmed, their bodies trembled slightly, and they couldn't stop sobbing as they spoke.

"Hmph, you're so incompetent, yet you dare to embarrass yourself like this!"

"Exactly, I really don't know what use you guys are."

More and more sarcastic remarks are being made, seemingly to convince themselves, or perhaps to convince those around them.

The Abyss Cutter, positioned opposite the crowd, remained unperturbed, watching with amusement as fear gradually spread among them. A thick, yellowish liquid trickled from its hideous, cracked lips.

This was caused by a slash from an unknown magical girl, influenced by the power of holiness.

It hasn't recovered yet, and I still have a lisp when I speak.

This time, it was completely confused by the order from Lord Flame Demon Binghe to assist the magical girls in capturing them, but after the Abyss Listener, who has a 'human language translator,' explained it, it understood.

It did whatever the man in black robes told it to do. When the man in black robes didn't speak, it just stood there and watched the show.

It was watching perfectly fine at first.

Until its gaze fell upon a flat-chested little girl who was watching it with great interest...
